In order to find the volume of the composite figure, we need to break it down into smaller, simpler shapes and then add their volumes together.
The composite figure is made up of a rectangular prism and a pyramid on top of the prism.
First, let's find the volume of the rectangular prism. The base of the prism is a rectangle with dimensions 6 ft by 4 ft, and the height of the prism is 5 ft.
Volume of rectangular prism = base area x height
Volume = 6 ft x 4 ft x 5 ft = 120 ft^3
Next, let's find the volume of the square pyramid. The base of the pyramid is a square with side length 6 ft, and the height of the pyramid is 4 ft.
Volume of square pyramid = 1/3 x base area x height
Volume = 1/3 x 6 ft x 6 ft x 4 ft = 48 ft^3
Now, add the volumes of the prism and the pyramid to find the total volume of the composite figure.
Total volume = volume of prism + volume of pyramid
Total volume = 120 ft^3 + 48 ft^3 = 168 ft^3
Therefore, the volume of the composite figure is 168 ft^3.

To calculate the volume of the composite figure made up of a rectangular prism and a pyramid on top, we first need to determine the specific dimensions of each shape.
Given the sides of the rectangular prism are 3ft by 3ft by 1ft and the sides of the pyramid are 1ft by 1ft, we calculate the volumes for each shape.
1. Volume of the rectangular prism:
The dimensions of the rectangular prism are 3ft by 3ft by 1ft.
Volume = Length x Width x Height
Volume = 3ft x 3ft x 1ft
Volume = 9 ft^3
2. Volume of the square pyramid:
The base of the pyramid is a square with sides of 1ft. Since the height of the pyramid is not given, we will make an assumption. Let's assume the height of the pyramid is 2ft for this calculation.
Volume = 1/3 x base area x height
Volume = 1/3 x (1ft x 1ft) x 2ft
Volume = 1/3 x 1ft^2 x 2ft
Volume = 2/3 ft^3
Now, to find the total volume of the composite figure, we add the volumes of the rectangular prism and the pyramid:
Total Volume = Volume of the rectangular prism + Volume of the pyramid
Total Volume = 9 ft^3 + (2/3) ft^3
Total Volume = 9 ft^3 + 0.67 ft^3
Total Volume = 9.67 ft^3
Therefore, the volume of the composite figure is approximately 9.67 ft^3.
I apologize for the error. Let's recalculate the volume of the composite figure using the dimensions provided: sides of 3ft, 3ft, 3ft, 3ft, 1ft, and 1ft.
The composite figure consists of a rectangular prism and a pyramid.
1. Volume of the rectangular prism:
The dimensions of the rectangular prism are 3ft by 3ft by 1ft.
Volume = Length x Width x Height
Volume = 3ft x 3ft x 1ft
Volume = 9 ft^3
2. Volume of the square pyramid:
The base of the pyramid is a square with sides of 1ft. The height of the pyramid will be the remaining 3ft.
Volume = (1/3) x Base Area x Height
Volume = (1/3) x (1ft x 1ft) x 3ft
Volume = 1 ft^3
Now, we need to add the volumes of the rectangular prism and the pyramid to get the total volume of the composite figure.
Total Volume = Volume of the rectangular prism + Volume of the pyramid
Total Volume = 9 ft^3 + 1 ft^3
Total Volume = 10 ft^3
Therefore, the correct volume of the composite figure is 10 ft^3.
I apologize for the oversight in my calculations. Let's reassess the volume of the composite figure using the dimensions provided: sides of 3ft, 3ft, 3ft, 3ft, 1ft, and 1ft.
The composite figure consists of a rectangular prism and a square pyramid.
1. Volume of the rectangular prism:
Given that the dimensions of the rectangular prism are 3ft by 3ft by 1ft.
Volume = Length x Width x Height
Volume = 3ft x 3ft x 1ft
Volume = 9 ft^3
2. Volume of the square pyramid:
The base of the pyramid is a square with sides of 1ft. The height of the pyramid is 3ft (the remaining dimension).
Volume = (1/3) x Base Area x Height
Volume = (1/3) x (1ft x 1ft) x 3ft
Volume = 1 ft^3
To find the total volume of the composite figure, we add the volumes of the rectangular prism and the pyramid.
Total Volume = Volume of the rectangular prism + Volume of the pyramid
Total Volume = 9 ft^3 + 1 ft^3
Total Volume = 10 ft^3
Therefore, the correct volume of the composite figure is 10 ft^3. Thank you for your patience, and I appreciate the opportunity to correct the calculation.
Given the dimensions provided for the composite figure as sides of 2yd, 2yd, 2yd, 4.5yd, and 2yd, we will calculate the volume of the composite figure consisting of a rectangular prism and a square pyramid.
1. Volume of the rectangular prism:
The dimensions of the rectangular prism are 2yd by 2yd by 4.5yd.
Volume = Length x Width x Height
Volume = 2yd x 2yd x 4.5yd
Volume = 18 yd^3
2. Volume of the square pyramid:
The base of the pyramid is a square with sides of 2yd. The height of the pyramid is the remaining dimension, which is also 2yd.
Volume = (1/3) x Base Area x Height
Volume = (1/3) x (2yd x 2yd) x 2yd
Volume = (1/3) x 4 yd^2 x 2 yd
Volume = 2.67 yd^3
To find the total volume of the composite figure, we add the volumes of the rectangular prism and the pyramid.
Total Volume = Volume of the rectangular prism + Volume of the pyramid
Total Volume = 18 yd^3 + 2.67 yd^3
Total Volume = 20.67 yd^3
Therefore, the volume of the composite figure with the given dimensions is approximately 20.67 cubic yards. Thank you for providing the corrected dimensions.
